1. Why can I get paid for filling out surveys and sharing my opinions?

Just in the United States, companies spend over 250 Billion dollars a year trying to convince consumers to buy their products and services. That's a lot of money. And while the majority of it is spent on advertising, a portion is devoted to research.

You see, understanding how people think and shop, why they buy certain products, etc. ultimately helps companies improve their products and services and make THEM more money. Knowing this, and that they won't get our help for free, companies are willing to pay people like you and me good money - up to $150 an hour! - for our opinions, because when the dust settles they know they will come out ahead and generate even more profits for themselves.

So you see, this is no "scam." It actually makes a lot of sense doesn't it?

2. So what kind of questions do they ask on the surveys? Examples?

The surveys are generally intended to get your honest opinions on various topics, such as what kind of products you buy, why you choose one product over another, what you think of certain products and how much they cost, how much you spend on various products, etc.

Here are examples of a hypothetical $10 survey and another $20 survey

3. I've never heard of a "Focus Group" ... what in the world is that?

A "Focus Group" is a group of individuals selected and assembled by researchers to discuss and comment on, from personal experience, the topic that is the subject of the research. Just like surveys, you simply share your opinions and discuss them with others.

Focus groups are often held online via special communication or chat systems, but they also take place in the "real" world as well. If you are interested in participating in these types of focus groups, we show you how - and you can often earn up to $150 per hour for doing so!

4. Ok, so how long are the surveys? And what about the focus groups?

Surveys are generally made up of anywhere from 20-50 questions, sometimes multiple choice and sometimes with space for you to add your personal comments, etc. In general, the more time it is expected to take to complete the survey, the more you will be compensated. Some take only 5 minutes!

Focus Groups are usually a more lengthly process - lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours or even longer. As with surveys, the compensation rises along with the participation necessary. Just remember, you'll always know the specifics up front and you pick the ones you like!

5. My schedule is pretty hectic, can I do this whenever I want?

Yes! That is probably the best part about surveys and why it's the easiest way for the average person to make some extra cash. It's perfect for everyone because you decide when and how much you want to "work" at any given time. You can do it at your own pace.

Have an extra 30 minutes in the morning before heading off to work? Do you have a few hours available in the afternoon while the kids are out playing? Or maybe it's 2am and for some reason you can't sleep? These are all perfect times to do surveys and get paid!

On the other hand, maybe you get busy with other things and don't have any time to do surveys for awhile. That's perfectly fine! It's not like there's a boss breathing down your neck, or you have to worry about getting fired. You can do surveys when it's convenient for YOU.

6. How many surveys can I take, and how much money will I make?

There are NO limits to the number of surveys or focus groups you can participate in.Generally speaking, the number of surveys you'll take depends on the number of companies you register with, the amount of information you provide them, and your personal "profile."

Some surveys are very specific, and not everyone will "qualify" for every survey. For example, a particular survey might only be open to women between the ages of 25-45 who live in Canada. Another survey might only be open to single men who use cologne, etc.

Of course, a lot of surveys are very general and just about anyone can take them. In the end, there are plenty of survey opportunities for just about everyone. It doesn't really matter if you are male or female, live in the U.S. or not, are a college student or have a full-time job, etc. There is no one "profile" that regularly qualifies for more surveys than the rest.

Many people report taking surveys right away - anywhere from a few hours to a few days after they start registering. But keep in mind that many companies only send out a few surveys per month, so it will usually be a few weeks before you start getting a lot of surveys.

But again, this depends on how many companies you register with, how quickly you register, and your personal "profile." Everyone's experience is a little different. What I can tell you is that I have personally registered with about 250 companies and I receive more survey invitations than I can handle. And there are a lot of people who make thousands of dollars per month from surveys and focus groups. It's entirely up to YOU!

Truthfully, anyone who promises you will get to take X number of surveys per week, or that you will make X amount of money per month, is lying to you. How could they know that? There is just no way that we or anyone else can tell you exactly how many surveys you'll take or how much money you'll make. What we suggest is that if this is something you're interested in, just give it a try and see how it goes. You have nothing to lose ...

7. Do I need to fit a certain "profile" to take surveys successfully?

Everything about you - where you live, whether you have a job or go to school, what kind of car you drive, whether you are single or married, etc. - makes up your personal "profile". And this profile is what market research companies use to match you up with the surveys and focus groups that are most applicable to you. After all, there's no sense in wasting anyone's time by sending you a survey about things you have no interest in or experience with.

While your "profile" is one of the most important factors that will determine the type and number of survey invitations you receive, there is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" profile. Each and every person simply has a different profile, as everyone in the world is a little different.

It doesn't matter if you are single or married, have a job or stay at home with the kids, drive a car or ride a bike, flunked out of school or have a Master's degree - because everyone's opinions are valuable to the market research companies and the clients that hire them.

So the short answer is "no" - you do not need to worry about fitting a certain profile in order to get paid for your opinions. If you are 18 years of age or older, this is for you.

8. Can anyone do this? What if I don't live in the United States?

Most paid survey opportunities require that you are at least 18 years of age, but other than that there are no specific requirements. You do not need any special qualifications or skills. However, if you are under 18 years of age we do not recommend surveys for you at this time. Survey opportunities are NOT limited to U.S. residents - everyone is welcome.

Some surveys are very specific, and not everyone will "qualify" for every survey. For example, a particular survey might only be open to women between the ages of 25-45 who live in Canada. Another survey might only be open to single men who use cologne, etc. Of course, a lot of surveys are very general and just about anyone can take them. In the end, there are usually plenty of survey opportunities for just about everyone.

We can't tell you exactly how many surveys you'll get on a weekly or monthly basis, because that depends on many outside factors we have no control over, but we hear from members outside the U.S. all the time who are shocked at the number of surveys available.

Concerned you won't be eligible for many surveys because you live outside of the U.S.?

That is usually not the case, but there's only one way to find out. If this is something you're interested in, we suggest you just give it a try and see how it goes. You have nothing to lose because we offer a eight week money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

9. Do I get paid by the hour? On a per-survey basis? And how much?

In the case of certain focus groups you may be paid by the hour, but generally you are paid a set amount for participating in a survey, focus group, or other opportunity.

Most companies will pay you cash, but some will give you free products, gift certificates, a chance to win bigger prizes, or "points" to be redeemed for products, cash, etc.

10. Can you tell me when, by whom, and exactly how I will be paid?

Each time you participate in a survey, focus group, or other paid opportunity, the particular company that is giving or sponsoring the opportunity will pay you directly. These are often market research firms hired by other companies - both large and small - to do various types of market research on their behalf. That is just how the industry works.

Usually, but not always, payments to you will be in U.S. funds. If you do not live in the U.S. you simply deposit these payments with your bank or other financial institution and they will convert the U.S. funds to your local currency for you automatically. It's no problem. When and how you're compensated depends on the specific opportunity you participate in.

Some will pay instantly online via PayPal, others will send you a check in the mail, etc. Just remember, you'll always know the exact details up front, and you pick the ones you like. Once you get going you could have a steady stream of cash and free stuff all the time!

11. What about taxes on the money I make ... how does that work?

If you're a U.S. citizen, you'll be considered an "independent contractor" for income tax purposes, and no income or other taxes are withheld from the payments you receive.

Any company that pays you over $600 in a calendar year is required to send you a Form 1099, and you're supposed to include this as "miscellaneous income" on your tax return.

If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will need to ask an accountant or other tax professional for the answer to this question, and how it might apply to you in your location.

Please note that we are not accountants and are not qualified to provide accounting, tax, or other legal advice. Our answer is based on our understanding of the tax rules, and how we handle this situation ourselves. Always check with your accountant or other tax professional.
